How Do I Vote?

You must have an updated address on your voter registration before you vote.

If you have not filed a change of address by Election day, your address will need to be updated so you can be assigned to the correct polling location for your new address.

Take your voter identification card with you to your polling place. If you lose your card, you may request a replacement. If you don't have your ID card, you will need to show another form of identification in order to vote.

Acceptable forms of identification include:

Driver's License

Missouri Identification Card

Social Security Card

Student Identification Card issued by an institution of higher education
-Copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck or other government document that contains the name and address of the voter.

Party Preference

Missouri does not register voters by political party so you will not be asked about any party affiliation when you register. However, you may only receive 1 party ballot when you vote at each Primary Election. You must request a party ballot from the election judges when you vote a Primary Election, but you do not have to choose the same party ballot at subsequent primaries.

Absentee Ballots

You may vote by absentee ballot if you are unable to go to the polls because of:

Temporary absent from the County on Election Day

Confinement due to illness or physical disability

Your religious belief

Military service

Incarceration, but have retained voting privileges

You may apply for an absentee ballot through the County Clerk's office.

The quickest and most efficient way is to apply in person. You will immediately receive your ballot to be voted in the office.

You may vote in person until 5:00 pm the day before an election.

You may have your ballot mailed to your address. Call or write for an application to be sent. The deadline for receiving an application for an absentee ballot to be mailed out is 5 P.M. on the Wednesday before an election. All absentee ballots that are mailed by voters must be voted and returned to the County Clerk's office before the polls close on Election Day. You will need to sign the envelope that the ballot goes in before a Notary Public.

Voting Services for the Elderly, Disabled and Handicapped Voters

You may register to vote by mail.

Absentee balloting in the County Clerk's office is an option or you may register to have your name added to the permanent absentee application list. Once on that list, you will be sent an application for each Election Day in the year. You will need to return a completed application for each election in which you wish to vote. Your absentee ballot will be mailed to you.

If a voter is blind or cannot read, he or she may have a person of his or her choosing accompany them to help vote their ballot. Also, a bi-partisan team of election workers may read the ballot to a voter and mark the ballot at the voter's direction.

Voting supplies may be brought to a voter at his or her car if he or she is unable to get inside their polling place.

Persons that are on the permanent disabled list for voting will not have to have their ballot envelope notarized.
